creamy tomatillo dressing

Some of you have been asking for my salad dressing recipe for sweet pork salad (cafe rio style). Here it is.  Enjoy :) 

Creamy Tomatillo Dressing

2 packets ranch dressing mix (3 Tbsp)

1 C mayonnaise

⅓ to ½ C buttermilk

3 tomatillos 

¼ C fresh cilantro lightly chopped  (1 bunch is about 2 cups chopped.)

1 clove of garlic

Place all the ingredients into a blender and mix well.  Occasionally scrape sides as needed.  Store in fridge for up to 2 weeks.  It is best made about 4 hours in advance to let flavor develop.

b-day and bigfoot

A few weeks ago we celebrated Keith's birthday. He asked for white chocolate raspberry buttercream frosting. Well when I added the raspberries the frosting turned the prettiest pink color ever. So I went big and made a two tiered cake with cute decorations and a big K on top. He got a good laugh out of it and was a good sport about his very girly cake. I had fun making it. Happy birthday Keith!
Then this last week Bigfoot the monster truck came to town. We got to have fun seeing the truck and then watching him smash 3 cars and do lots of jumping, smashing, and engine revving. It was so LOUD. I should have taken pictures of the show. But if you go on youtube and type in "Bigfoot monster truck" you can see exactly what we saw if you are feeling left out.

first snow

I just had to post and say that the first snow of the season fell today. Here's to another big snow year! Or should I say here's to adding to the snow from last year that hasn't melted yet.
